258? Found a 1601 on HODINKEE with an oyster. I think this might work

as far as I know curvature of the case is the same between sports models, t-birds, and datejusts (yes, assuming non solid gold versions), spacing from the spring bar hole to the midcase is more or less the same (no, I have not measured it), but the thickness of the case will vary between the models. If my assumptions are correct, then any Oyster band slightly adjusted with a small pair of pliers should work.

Now, if you are asking what is a CORRECT Oyster band for a 1601 - then we will need to know production date of your watch (which type of oyster band was manufactured at that time). Then if one was available for a 1601, it can be identified.

On a 7836 oyster you need 258 or 358 end links. On a 78360 you need 558 end links.
